For children with life-threatening or terminal illnesses, the experience can be almost unbearable and an unhappy one, but one local organization seeks to lighten their burdens and make their lives a little more bearable — that organization is “Magical Memories.” It is a 5013 c3 non-profit organization that is run completely by volunteers, and there

An old sales trick is to offer something and something vs. something and nothing. For example, an effective salesman does not ask if you want to make an appointment with him or her, rather they ask, “Would morning be better for you, or would you prefer afternoon?” That appears to be the choice that Williamsport

It was just another lazy summer day for Lydia Barbour as one of her friends approached her with the idea of taking part in Montoursville’s annual tennis game hosted by the high school team. Barbour went there looking for something to fill the void left by a hot day without much to do. She got

In recent years, throughout the area, food trucks bearing a wide variety of foods and snacks have sprung up almost like mushrooms. The DuBoistown Volunteer Fire Company has found a way to showcase these food trucks and their various bills of fare, and at the same time act as a fundraiser to benefit the financial

Mentoring — what is it? I looked up the word “mentor” in the dictionary, and it’s defined as someone who guides, trains or advises someone with less experience. Many of us, who hunt and fish often, serve as mentors to family members and friends. To be honest, it’s often just as rewarding to see a

There’s going to come a time, and it should be fun, that our pets will be able to communicate to us with more than a mere bark or meow. Some type of app, linked to their brain, plugged into our laptop or cell phone will expose their thoughts, channel and funnel them, then translate them

Halloween isn’t just for humans; four-legged friends have plenty of opportunity to get in on the fun, too. However, it’s important to take some pet precautions that allow the whole family to enjoy the holiday safely, as the costumes and excitement can be overwhelming and some of the candy is even dangerous. As you’re filling

Williamsport’s baseball fandom was formally introduced to George Herman (Babe) Ruth yesterday afternoon and if Ruth likes us as well as we like him, the good impression is a mutual one. Incidentally, it may be mentioned that Ruth’s All Stars, four of whom were members of the Pennsylvania R.R. team won the game, an eight-

Growing up outside of Montoursville, in rural Lycoming County, during the 1950s and 1960s gave a youth many opportunities to hunt and fish. Whitetail deer were available to hunt, turkeys were beginning to reach huntable numbers, and there was the occasional black bear that one might come across. But more numerous, and therefore more often

After sporting a pixie cut for seven years, I’ve been letting my hair grow out. During this 18-month growing period, I have been relearning through trial and error how to maintain longer locks. As I reached chin-length, I thought I had fine hair, but it turns out the mistakes I was making in my hair

When it’s time for a sweet treat, look for seasonal goodies that complement fun fall activities. For example, reach for an option like whole-grain, fluffy and crisp popcorn which can be an easy, DIY snack. Combine sweet and salty flavors to create something delicious to devour like delightful Down Home Apple Pie Popcorn. To better

What has more value, gold or water? Before you answer that question, let me tell you a little story. Wilbur had done his research. Native American folklore, geological surveys and several productive scouting trips had him convinced that there was gold in the high desert. He sold nearly everything he owned to finance his expedition

Costume-clad kids, bags of candy and jack-o’-lanterns are some indelible images associated with Halloween. Those images may forever be linked to this beloved, fun-filled holiday, which boasts a rich history that varies depending on where in the world you might be. Celebrations around the world may not mirror those in the United States, where trick-or-treating

Billtown Blues Organizers have set Saturday November 3rd for their annual fundraising event, “Fall Into the Blues”.

The last thing needed in today’s world at any level is to give more power to elected officials. However, that is exactly what Williamsport City Council is asking you to do.

I’m sure you are probably wondering why we are doing an issue on voting so far in front of the mid-term elections. The reason is that we want everyone in the area to be as informed as possible before they head to the polls, and to have plenty of time for you to do your

In this series on preparing for the November election, four columns have been devoted to the complicated issue of changing the city charter of Williamsport.

Most of us have experienced the big stressors of life: changing jobs, getting married, moving houses, illness, etc. While these big-ticket stressors can be challenging, they are usually only a temporary disruption. However, when all of the “little things” start piling up, it can feel like death by a thousand cuts, and it’s hard to
